阅读理解第 部分一
第一节 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
When I was young, my father used to grow carnations ( 康乃馨 )—a kind of fl ower that was
red, pink or white. He took care of them with much love and devotion. Every day he came home from
work, he would enjoy watching them. And he used to tell us, “No one should touch my fl owers.”
One day, my younger sister Clemence, who loved Dad very much, wanted to help him. So she cut
the carnations from their stems ( 茎 ) one by one and arranged them on the ground. She believed that
Dad would be very pleased to see them that way.
When Mum and I realized what my sister had done, we became completely speechless. However,
my sister had no idea why no one showed her any appreciation. When Dad arrived, he went as usual
straight to watch the flowers. Seeing his flowers lying on the ground like dead animals, he was
shocked at first. He looked towards the street to see if it was any of the neighbors’ children who
could have done it. Then he looked at Mum in silence. Finally Mum, who always taught us to tell the
truth no matter what happened, said, “No bad neighbors did this great job, only your lovely daughter
Clemence.”
Dad’s face changed into a smile and then he said, “Do I have better flowers than my lovely
daughter?” My younger sister smiled and hugged Dad strongly.
